(54) Display apparatus


(57) A display apparatus includes an LCD panel (40), a PCB assembly (60) placed behind the LCD panel (40) and supplying electric current to the LCD panel (40), an LCD frame (50) provided around the LCD panel (40), a plurality of first combining parts (51) formed on peripheral sides of the LCD frame (50), and a plurality of second combining parts (55) formed on the plane of the LCD frame (50). A front cover (20) is placed in front of the LCD panel (40), covering edges of the LCD panel (40) and is combined to one of the first and second combining parts (51,55). A rear cover (30) is placed behind the LCD panel (40), accommodating the PCB assembly (60), and is combined to the other one of the first and second combining parts (51,55). With this configuration, the present invention provides a display apparatus which minimizes a space for installation, carriage and storage, has a slim and compact appearance, and prevents an illusion that a display part (41) of an LCD panel (40) is relatively small.
